We've been listening to their giant Louis Prima / Keely Smith / Sam Butera box recently, but there's lots more from that label. Leave it to the Germans to be a rich source (and in some cases the ONLY source) for re-issuing great American music. And sometimes the Japanese. Come to think of it, isn't that a bit ironic, considering that a lot of this music is coming from the 20-25 years after WWII? The point is not totally true if you consider some other great re-issue labels like Ace and Sundazed, which are neither German nor Japanese. Anyway, kinda interesting all the same. Looking forward to seeing the blue cover for SOT2! -Randy
